Most of your students are doing great in class, but Alan, Billy and Clara are falling behind because of a broken bone or the latest bout of flu. End-of-year exams are looming and these students need to catch up before it’s too late!

Your regular schedule is already packed and after-school hours are filled with extra-murals. Somehow you’re supposed to find a tutor, have him check his schedule and confirm a tutoring date when he can actually sit down with Alan, Billy and Clara to get them up to speed in arithmetic, biology and calculus!

You need a solution that will keep its eye on the ball and ensure that all your students are prepared for those end-of-year exams…

Here it is — an electronic, cross-platform system that requires only that the student’s relevant information is entered once! It then automatically and reliably follows through the various processes: The school administrator is notified by email, chooses a suitable tutor who receives all the relevant information by email and checks his/her calendar for open tutoring dates. The tutor responds to a simple form by entering dates and times for tutoring slots. This sends an email to the parents who choose a suitable appointment and the tutor receives feedback. If none of the supplied dates are suitable, the system prompts the tutor and parent to liaise — and it doesn’t let go until the tutor confirms that a tutoring date has been set. At any point, you and the school administrator can look in and see whether a tutoring appointment has been set and if so, when it’s been set for! How awesome is that?!

You say:“Yes, but that kind of system is expensive to set up! And our school can’t afford the IT staff who could service and maintain it…”
